If you are currently learning English, 1 highly recommend you check out the apps below.

Quizlet

When learning English, you probably have to memorize a lot of words. If you want to grow your vocabulary as fast as possible, a flashcard app like Quizlet is a great shortcut. With Quizlet, you can create a set of flashcards with new English words you are trying to learn, and practice typing them out until you know them by heart. It's a simple concept, but it's highly effective.

Spotify

Spotify is not a language learning app. But chances are that you already use it or a similar app for listening to music or podcasts（播客）, and one of the effective ways to study is combining something you already use into your existing habits. If Spotify is already on your phone, you can subscribe to some podcasts for English learners or download playlists of songs for learning English, or make your own.

Beelinguapp

Beelinguapp makes reading in English as convenient as possible. It shows you a text in your own language with the English translation side-by-side. Texts are short enough so that you can really dig into every word. They cover topics from fairytales, to science, to current news articles. There's even a "karaoke" feature where you can read along to audio, which helps you match up the English pronunciation with the English spellings.

Tandem

Tandem is a language exchange app which connects learners from all over the world. It can help you find a native English speaker who is trying to learn your native language, so you can swap language skills. If you only have five minutes to spare, you can simply exchange messages with a native English speaker. If you have more time, you can have a longer, digital language exchange" by sharing voice notes, or using video chat. It's a great way to test your English skills out with real people.

It’s still there, the Vietnamese school where my brother and I used to go. Even with a new coat of paint and the high wire fence, the school I knew ten years ago remains the same.

Every day at 5 p.m., instead of flying kites with our friends, my brother and I had to go to Vietnamese school. Nothing could stop my determined mother to have us learn the language of our culture. She held us by the collar and walked with us from our home to school, leaving our tearful faces before the front of the school.

Although the school mainly taught language, the lessons always began with an exercise in politeness. With the entrance of the teacher, the best student would tap a bell and everyone would get up, and say in Vietnamese, “How are you, teacher?”

The language always made me embarrassed. More often than not, I have tried to separate myself from the loud voice that followed me whenever I went to the American supermarket outside our area. The voice belonged to my grandmother, a small old woman whose Vietnamese was quick, loud, but not beautiful. I did not want to be seen speaking Vietnamese with her and thought of as talking stupid.

When I spoke English, people nodded at me, smiled and encouraged me. My brother was even stricter than I about speaking English. He was especially cruel towards my mother, scolding her for her poor English. Bits of Vietnamese were often mixed in her conversation.

After two years of struggle, I finally divorced my culture. I was permitted to stop Vietnamese school. I thought of myself as American. At last, I thought I was one of you; I wasn’t one of them.

Sadly, I am only an American.

For people suffering from depression (抑郁), there’s an all-natural treatment they should use—getting more exercise. It could help fight depression, even if people have a genetic risk, new research shows.

For the study, researchers collected information from nearly 8,000 people and found those with related genes (基因) were more likely to have depression over the next two years after examining them. But that was less likely for people who were more active at the study’s start, even if they had a family history of depression. Higher levels of physical activity helped protect even those with the highest genetic risk of depression.

Both high-intensity (高强度) exercise and low-intensity activities were associated with a reduced risk of depression. Adding four hours of exercise a week could lower the risk of a new episode (一段经历) of depression by 17%, according to the study. “Our findings strongly suggest that, when it comes to depression, being physically active has the potential to remove the added risk of future episodes in individuals who are genetically risky,” said lead author Karmel Choi. “On average, about 35 additional minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future depression episodes.”

Depression is a common mental illness globally, with more than 264 million people affected. “Depression is so ubiquitous, and that underlines the need for effective approaches that can impact as many people as possible,” Choi said. And mental health and primary care providers can use the findings to advise patients that there’s something meaningful they can do to lower their risk of depression.

8. How did the researchers reach their conclusion?

A. By analyzing a mass of data.

B. By conducting genetic research.

C. By comparing various levels of activity.

D. By tracking the subjects for many years.

9. What does the study show about depression?

A. Physical activity betters medical treatment.

B. Exercise may decrease and prevent it.

C. Different levels of exercise intensity matter the same.

D. Exercising 35 minutes daily is the most effective treatment.

10. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 4 mean?

A. Simple. B. Complex. C. Unusual. D. Common.

11. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To discuss a disease. B. To introduce a scientific study.

C. To analyze a genetic risk. D. To explain a phenomenon.

D

“A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website.” This is the definition(定义) of the word “selfie” in the Oxford English Dictionary. In fact, it wasn’t even in the dictionary until August, 2013. It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed(着迷) with selfies—we take them when we try on a new hat, play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven’t seen in a while.

But does this obsession actually make sense? Is there any scientific explanation for it? Well, you should probably ask James Kilner, a neuroscientist at University College London.

Through our lifetime we become experts at recognizing and interpreting other people’s faces and facial expressions. In contrast, according to Kilner, we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them—we just feel them most of the time.

This has been proved in previous studies in which participants were shown images of themselves and asked to match their facial expressions in the pictures. In most cases, they failed to accurately produce the same facial expressions without being able to see themselves in the mirror, according to BBC.

To further test how we actually sense our own faces, Kilner carried out another study. He showed people different versions(版本) of their own image—the original which had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive—and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them. Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture. This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are.

But what does it say about selfies? Well, isn’t that obvious? Selfies give us the power to create a photograph—by taking it from various angles, with different poses, using filters(滤镜) and so on—that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.

“You suddenly have control in a way that you don’t have in non-virtual(非虚拟的) interactions,” Kilner told the Canada-based CTA News. Selfies allow you “to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you’re happy with”, he explained.

12. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Taking selfies. B. The addiction to selfies.

C. The history of selfie. D. The rise of selfie.

13. What can we learn from Kilner’s studies?

A. We can know about our own faces well.

B. We tend to recognize our own faces easily.

C. We become poor at reading others’facial expressions.

D. We believe we have better images than we actually do.

14. What is the real reason behind taking selfies?

A. It enables them to improve their skill of taking a photograph.

B It meets their needs to know their own faces better.

C. It makes them possible to reach their expectation.

D. It offers them a way to control the virtual world.

15. What might be the best title of the passage?

A. What Is Selfie B. Selfie Beautify Yourself

C. How Do People Take Selfies D. Selfies Improve Your Confidence
